Another day, another wild accusation about The Flash star Ezra Miller.

According to Rolling Stone, the actor, who identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, is currently staying on his 96-acre property in Stamford, Vermont, with a mother and her three young children.

The father, like the 25-year-old mother, was not identified. However, he reportedly feared the situation is “unsafe.” Video provided to Rolling Stone allegedly showed “unattended guns strewn around the home,” and that “one of the children — a one-year-old — allegedly picked up a loose bullet and put it in her mouth.”

The 29-year-old actor is allegedly using marijuana heavily in front of the children, the magazine reports. Miller also is accused of cultivating cannabis on their farm without a license, according to Rolling Stone.

However, the mother of the children tells the magazine that Miller helped her and her kids flee Hilo, Hawaii, and a “violent and abusive” ex — something the children’s father denies.

The Rolling Stone report is the latest in a series of recent accusations and legal entanglements for Miller.

Earlier this month, South Dakota attorney and activist Chase Iron Eyes and his wife, Sara Jumping Eagle, filed court documents alleging that Miller has been “physically and emotionally abusing” their 18-year-old daughter, Tokata Iron Eyes, whom Miller met when she was 12 and Miller was 23. The Fantastic Beasts series star was also accused of “psychologically manipulating, physically intimidating, and endangering the safety and welfare” of the young woman, according to court documents obtained by Entertainment Weekly.

However, in an Instagram post, Tokata denied the claims, insisting in part that her “comrade” Ezra has simply helped her through a difficult time.

Miller was also arrested in Hawaii in March and April and charged, respectively, with disorderly conduct and harassment in one case, and second degree assault in the other.

Denise Richards is following in the footsteps of her daughter, Sami Sheen, and launching an OnlyFans account.

Taking to social media on Thursday, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum shared a 15-second clip of herself wearing a white dress and walking from the beach into the water.

“Ready…here we go,” she captioned the video, adding #onlyfans. “Link in bio.”

In a follow-up Instagram post, the 51-year-old wrote, “It’s summer!!! My favorite time of year. Chatting with all of you on #onlyfans right now. I personally will answer all of your messages.”

Subscriptions to Richards’ OnlyFans account are currently listed at $25 per month, or $67.50 for a three-month bundle.

Richards’ OnlyFans account comes after her 18-year-old daughter, Sami, whom she shares with ex Charlie Sheen, launched her own page earlier this month.

Charlie voiced his disapproval of his daughter’s account, telling E! News in a statement, “I do not condone this but since I’m unable to prevent it, I urged her to keep it classy, creative and not sacrifice her integrity.”

Richards, on the other hand, commended Sami for her confidence.

“Lots of negative comments on my social this past week. I have to say, I wish I had the confidence my 18 yr old daughter has,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “And I also can’t be judgmental of her choices. I did Wild Things & Playboy, quite frankly her father shouldn’t be either.”

Austin Butler felt “a responsibility” to get ‘Elvis’ right

When Austin Butler signed on to play Elvis Presley in Elvis, the new biopic about the musician’s life, he knew it wouldn’t be a walk in the park to step into the King of Rock & Roll’s blue suede shoes.

“I’ve never felt a responsibility like this,” Butler told ABC News. “Anytime you take on somebody who’s actually lived their life, there’s a responsibility. But with Elvis, it’s something I’ve never felt before.”

The film’s director, Baz Luhrmann, echoed his sentiment, saying it was important to both of them that Butler did not do an impersonation of Presley. “Elvis is the most impersonated person in history. We had to have a person,” he said. “Austin really did fuse his spirit with that of Elvis’. He shows the man, not the icon, you know.”

Butler’s performance as Presley tried to combat “all the misconceptions” of those impersonations – the caricatures and the Halloween costumes – that Butler says make people look “up to him almost in a godlike way” and, in turn, take the singer’s “life out of context.”

“I was just so fascinated by stripping all that away,” Butler said.

Elvis hits theaters on June 24, but it premiered at Cannes Film Festival last month – where it was treated to a 10-minute standing ovation during and after the end credits.

“I’m getting to now see people responding to all the work that we did,” Butler said. “And it just feels so good that people are appreciating and getting to see him in a way they haven’t maybe before.”

Four Walls: The ‘Always Sunny’ guys launch charity whiskey brand

Glenn Howerton, Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day, the guys behind the hit FX show It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, are getting into the celebrity spirits business — but it’s all for a good cause.

The creators of the show centered in a pub have announced the creation of their Four Walls Whiskey collection, a celebration, as McElhenney says, of “the four walls that have held our favorite memories in and kept our troubles out.”

Four Walls’ two offerings are “a rare Irish Whiskey with premium commemorative packaging for serious whiskey collectors” and “a blended Irish and Straight Pennsylvania Rye offering crafted with bartenders in mind and made to celebrate with fans.”

In a video announcement, slightly in character from their Always Sunny roles, Day declares, “Oh! I’m glad we’re getting in on the celebrity spirit brand thing. A lot of money in that.”

Howerton replies, “But in our case, a lot of money for bars and bartenders.”

Forrrr?” Day replies. “I just want to be clear, we’re not going to be making a little tiny bit of the money?”

McElhenney clarifies that 100% of the profits for the brown stuff will be benefitting the Pennsylvania Restaurant & Lodging Association’s charity HARP [Hospitality Assistance Response of Pennsylvania]. The organization has been helping out bars and restaurants that have been hurt by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The cast-strength whiskey is aged 15 years to commemorate Always Sunny‘s 15 years on the air. Limited to 755 bottles, it retails for $999 and features “premium packaging that includes signatures by Glenn, Rob, and Charlie, and a mirrored, engraved box.”

The “Bartenders Blend” rye mix sells for $89.95.

Both options have rated well in a blind tasting and are certainly classier than if the guys branded their own rum ham.

Aidy Bryant said she left ‘SNL’ “with so much love”

Aidy Bryant was one of the big names who left SNL at the close of this past season — along with Pete Davidson, Kyle Mooney and Kate McKinnon — and now she’s explained why.

To Variety, Bryant revealed she actually wanted to leave sooner.

“If it weren’t for COVID, I probably would have left a few years earlier,” said the Emmy-nominated star of the sketch show and of her own Hulu comedy series, Shrill.

“But it was such a huge change. When COVID hit, it was so jarring that we were all like, ‘I’m definitely going to come back next year.'”

She added, “And then I had to shoot Shrill for half of last season, and so I missed a lot. And then it was like, ‘Well, now I should go back one more.’ I kept trying to seek one last normal year. This year wasn’t the normal year that I hoped for, but it was closer to that.”

Ultimately, Bryant said of her years on the show, “10 felt like a nice, solid round number.”

That said, the actress admitted she was “scared” to break the news to SNL‘s executive producer Lorne Michaels.

“I was scared because I feel close to him and so grateful to him. I didn’t want it to come off like I was leaving angrily. I am leaving with so much love,” she explained. “He was like, ‘I understand, and it makes sense for you.'”

Bryant is working on an animated series for Peacock, called Cheeky, about our relationships with our bodies. “I’ll probably always be writing to work through my own shame about my body or parameters of gender and womanhood. Those are the things that interest me in ways I find funny and insane,” she said.

Jussie Smollett talks “gratitude” in new interview, again maintains innocence in hate crime hoax

(NOTE LANGUAGE) Jussie Smollett “went where the love is” for a very friendly interview with the SiriusXM show Sway in the Morning, where he again maintained his innocence in the hate crime hoax for which he was convicted and spent six days in jail.

The former Empire star was convicted of staging the attack by paying two Nigerian men to pretend to be racist Donald Trump supporters and rough him up in Chicago in January 2019, including putting a noose around his neck.

When he was sentenced earlier this year, Cook County Judge James Linn excoriated Smollett, calling him a “charlatan” who “denigrated” actual hate crime victims.

“If I had done this, I’d be a piece of s***. And I don’t think that’s really questionable,” Smollett insisted to Sway in the interview. “I know I didn’t do this.”

“If I had done something like this, it would mean that I stuck my fist in the pain of black African Americans in this country for over 400 years,” the actor added. “It would mean that I stuck my fist in the fears of the LGBTQ community all over the world. I am not that motherf*****. Never have been. Don’t need to be.”

Smollett said his six-day stay behind bars let him “reset and regain clarity,” through fasting.

“Lord knows I wanted to get out. I was in a f***ing psych ward,” he noted.

Smollett said ultimately, “…everybody inside was very kind and when I left [jail], I thanked them all…you just showed me respect I’m grateful for.'”

Jussie also addressed some of those in the entertainment industry who took shots at him, like Dave Chappelle, whose “Juicy Smollett” bit became an instant classic.

“I’ve seen him since, and that’s all I’ll say,” Smollett declared.
